<p>Author: Joel Tosi<br/>
Level: Beginner<br/>
Technologies: JavaMail, JSF, CDI<br/>
Summary: Demonstrates the use of JavaMail<br/>
Target Product: EAP<br/>
Product Versions: EAP 6.1, EAP 6.2<br/>

<h2><a id="what-is-it" class="anchor" href="#what-is-it"><span class="anchor-icon"></span></a>What is it?</h2>

<p>This example demonstrates sending email with the use of <em>CDI 1.0</em> and <em>JSF 2.0</em> in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.</p>

<p>The example uses the default Mail provider that comes out of the box with JBoss EAP. It uses your local mail relay and the default SMTP port of 25.</p>

<p>The configuration of the mail provider is found in the <code>JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml</code> if you are running a standalone server or in the <code>JBOSS_HOME/domain/configuration/domain.xml</code> file if you are running in a managed domain. An example of the mail subsystem XML configuration is provided below:</p>

        <span class="nt">&lt;/smtp-server&gt;</span>
        <span class="nt">&lt;pop3-server</span> <span class="na">address=</span><span class="s">&quot;example.com&quot;</span> <span class="na">port=</span><span class="s">&quot;1234&quot;</span><span class="nt">/&gt;</span>

            <span class="nt">&lt;login</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">&quot;nobody&quot;</span> <span class="na">password=</span><span class="s">&quot;pass&quot;</span><span class="nt">/&gt;</span>
        <span class="nt">&lt;/imap-server&gt;</span>
    <span class="nt">&lt;/mail-session&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/subsystem&gt;</span>

<p>The example is a web application that takes <code>To</code>, <code>From</code>, <code>Subject</code>, and <code>Message Body</code> input and sends mail to that address. The front end is a JSF page with a simple POJO backing, leveraging CDI for resource injection.</p>
